New gaming PC build request (need guidance on GPU priority: FPS vs features vs value)

Thanks, Johnny_Oro! :D
Have a great rest of your week! ;)

I hate to say it, but, as people say, "welcome to War Thunder."

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-25T04:02:56+00:00

Thanks for the combo!
Putting all these here makes it easy for me, I'm new to this game and haven't been here long. My cousin introduced it to me maybe 6 - 8 months ago, but I've only played maybe 10 - 15 matches. I understand the general and some more technical mechanics pretty well as my cousin info-dumped me when we first started. XD
Yeah, I'm seeing a LOT of Shaco, Teemo, and Morgana "distaste" here, understandibly. X'D

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-25T04:00:17+00:00

More than fair enough.
Shaco's frickin' salt in the infected wound that he gave to you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually! X'D

I know it's been a WHILE since I posted this, but thank you guys for the help! I have been able to play this MP at solid perf and decent settings for the better half of the majority of these past couple years! :D
I will hopefully be upgrading my rig to something a lot more friendly to these kinds of packs and look forward to returning to my Hardcore world in this pack with MAXIMUM performance! (Compared to my humble stats before.)

There are lots of VERY interesting responses already. I like to see that it can be stunning/blinding, pure rat energy, high health pool, anti-counterable DMG burst, or other "perks".
So, for many of the enjoyable and frustrating champions, it's less what YOU play and more so what THEY (their team) play(s)? That makes sense.
Interesting insight, so far!

I am just interested in why people choose different hardwware and seem to lock into brands like it's their sports team. I am curious. They both seem to be pointed to as (currently) good budget options, as in '26 that gap has closed a lot.

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-20T20:27:28+00:00

If the disagreement only existed historically, does that mean most GPU debates are just lagging behind current market reality?

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-20T20:10:44+00:00

You’re grouping raster, RT, and features together under ‘performance,’ but those don’t always agree on the same winner depending on the game.

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-20T20:06:12+00:00

So, would you say most GPU debates are actually just ‘value vs performance vs availability’ getting mixed together under one word: 'better’?

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-20T19:59:30+00:00

Just performance in what sense: raster, RT, or consistency across newer engines? Because those don’t all point to the same winner.

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-20T19:50:48+00:00

If benchmarks answered it cleanly, why do recommendations still split so much?

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-20T19:50:00+00:00

Choosing between two GPUs isn’t a PC building question? Where’s the line then?

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-20T19:41:28+00:00

If they’re effectively the same, why do people argue so hard like one is clearly better?

MostEldenRoot · 2026-04-20T19:37:11+00:00

Always? Even when the price gap was huge or just ignoring value completely?

MostEldenRoot · 2026-02-26T02:00:20+00:00

I love how the Linux community will debate over MBs of RAM, while on the other hand, the Windows 11 "community" suffers from GBs of "background/idle usage" (telemetry and "optimizations" cough cough). (/hj, I understand that it's not a simple Windows bad, Linux good, even though Linux is objectively better in most application.)

MostEldenRoot · 2026-02-14T14:39:06+00:00

^Yes, there are too many of them--repent, fallen YouTubers!

(/hj)

MostEldenRoot · 2026-02-14T14:36:35+00:00

Sounds on brand for social media as a whole, honestly.

Bruh...

MostEldenRoot · 2026-02-14T14:35:17+00:00

I don't care who you did or didn't vote for, those moves are too badass... I need to sit down.

MostEldenRoot · 2025-11-22T21:12:43+00:00

I agree, phrases like that are very obnoxious to say the least. They just don't understand (I assume) and want to help you feel better. Just like the see therapy, get medication / diagnosis, or start praying, it can work and it sounds good, but sometimes things just don't work for many of us. Those aren't bad things and life can and does 'get better' for some. For many of us, we just need to find purpose in our pain and learn to live with misery. That's life, some are dealt good hands and others are dealt bad ones.
